KÖNIGK-SUMMIT XXL K66 Snow chains, set of 2

These are fantastic. They are so easy to put onto the tyres, they don’t mark the alloys wheels and they give you incredible grip and control (both uphill and downhill) on snow and ice. They aren’t cheap but in this case you definitely do get what you pay for. Saying that, they’re probably cheaper than the cost of most people’s insurance excess and they provide you and your loved ones with safe winter mobility.I wouldn’t be without them, I’ve never been more relaxed driving on snow and ice 👍👍👍👍👍They also come in a very good quality carry case for easy storage.I have seen a video on YouTube (posted by a pair of simpletons! 🙄) demonstrating how difficult it is to fit these......... You HAVE to read the instructions first and size them to your tyre size. I had to remove three of the yellow sizing bolts to fit my tyres. The most you’ll have to remove is four, you may not need to remove any.Give yourself around fifteen minutes to read/understand the sizing instructions and a minute or so to remove each sizing bolt. Once you’ve done this it only takes a few minutes per wheel to put them on or take them off.I’ve only used them for one winter so I can’t discuss their longevity but they do feel incredibly well made and I’m sure they will provide me with safe winter driving for many years to come.Highly recommend.

I have yet to use these in the snow, but I have adjusted them and had a very short ride down my road. I hope the following comments will be useful.A certain amount of strength is required to attach an adaptor to one of the wheel nuts, using the supplied spanner, which clicks when you have supplied enough torque. This is a very good idea as it assures, it want fall of. However, if you are not happy changing a wheel, I suggest you perhaps don’t buy these.The instructions supplied are laminated, and contain all the information (mostly in picture form) you need to fit the chains when it is snowing. They are very clear. However, one very important piece of information is omitted and can only be found by downloading the full instructions from the makers website. As I said I tried the chains, after I had I had adjusted the length (this is not a difficult job, and all the tools you need are included). I was initially convinced they were too small as I could not get them to mount on my wheels. The extra instructions told me the wheels need to be wet, specially if like me you had new tyres. This lubricates everything. So, I threw a bucket of water over the tyres, then the chains fitted very easily.I note my chains came with a one size fit all U-adaptor. I believe they used to come with different adaptors for different size wheel nuts.I can confirm they do not damage my diamond cut wheels.A plastic sheet complete with a picture on it of someone kneeling fitting the chains is supplied. I suspect most people will use the very substantial bag to kneel on if kneeling is needed. A completely useless plastic pair of gloves are included, of the type you are given in restaurants to eat ribs etc. I added to the bag an old pair of gardening gloves.So, I am all set for the snow. I think they will do me well, which is fortunate as not many chains will fit my car.

Having bought much cheaper snow chains in the past and struggling to get them on in bad weather (without practicing at home first) and then them breaking on first outing I was determined to get something better. The key issue I faced was low wheel arches and big wheels. Traditional snow chains have to be fixed behind the wheel. With my car these means laying on the ground under the car! No fun in freezing snowy conditions, usually in slush.Although not cheap these are execellent chains which are very straightforward to put on. These chains are a fixed and secured from the outside. Reverse a little, check they are secure and off you go. Demonstrated most recently in the Alpes where everyone was stopping to put chains on. Motorways were closed and everyone was taking to the minor roads. Many people were visibly struggling on the side of the road to put on traditional snow chains ... we saled past after a short stop to put ours on. I was also pleasantly surprised that after driving on a clear road before we could stop to take the chains off, there was no visible wear or damage to them. So highly recommended.

Cheap when compared to the same product rebadged from you local car dealer.Hard to get on if you haven't adjusted them before your trip. For example the K66 (xxl size) requires 4 link rods removing for 235 60 r18 tyres. Read the instructions and do this before you leave!The self centering doesn't seem to get them on first time and you have to drive, then kick them on a bit, then drive. Once on they worked fine.These and a few others are the only choice for some cars.

Perfect fit Thule are the best snow chains on the market well worth the expense althoughthese were the cheapest we found - would definitely use again in fact this is the 2nd pairwe have bought from Konig.

Easy to fit, very high quality, adaptable for even the biggest and deepest alloy wheels. Happy with these after quite a long search

Hello KönigI relied on your advice that the König K-Summit XXL K66 chains would fit my New 2020 Evoque.I have already purchased these chains for the vehicle outlined, and am very concerned that they do not fit!The only way I could get the K-Summit XXL K66 chains to fit the was by removing all 5 yellow "regulation elements", as described in the fitting instructions PLUS an additional 3 of the remaining (not yellow) "elements".... leaving only 2 such "elements" on the chains. Anything less removed did not allow the chains to fit the size "235/50/20" tyres.I would appreciate hearing from the Vendor or König if possible as I am very concerned that these chains will fail in the present winter and snow conditions I am now driving in - in France.Regards
